Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole English cucumbers
- 250 grams Snow crab meat
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 medium Carrots
- 0.5 whole Red bell pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer, slice the cucumbers lengthwise into long, thin strips. Set aside on a plate and lightly sprinkle with salt to help draw out excess water.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the snow crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the consistency is creamy and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Peel the carrot and slice it into thin matchstick-sized pieces. Slice the red bell pepper into similar thin strips. These will add crunch and color to the rolls.
Blot the cucumber slices with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Lay one slice of cucumber flat on your work surface.
Place a small dollop (about 1 tablespoon) of the snow crab mixture at one end of the cucumber slice. Add a few carrot and red bell pepper strips over the mixture for crunch.
Gently roll the cucumber slice around the filling, starting from the end with the filling and rolling toward the opposite end. Secure the roll with a toothpick if necessary.
Repeat the process for the remaining cucumber slices and filling until all are used up.
Arrange the completed cucumber rolls on a platter. Garnish with additional fresh dill for presentation, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy these elegant, bite-sized appetizers!
